I have a question because I'm stupid -- is it snowy everywhere in alaska or are there no-snow areas?

*is picturing igloos and ice everywhere LOL*

And polar bears?

What do they teach you in school?

Michael, we are talking July 29, core summer when the temperatures in the Anchorage area are in the 50s or maybe 60s. Does that sound like good snow temperatures? The reason there will be snow above Girdwood is the much higher elevation.

Peach, the Alaska Pipeline starts in Valdez apprimately 100 miles east as the crow flies or as the boat runs but much much longer for cars or other similar vehicles to get to. It runs due north to the Fairbanks area, which is almost 400 miles from Anchorage. I do not believe that whatever you saw was a segment of the Alaska Pipeline.

You're right! Is that just a dock or some sort of salmon weir?

Publication: Defense Transportation JournalPublication Date: 01-AUG-07Delivery: Immediate Online AccessAuthor: Full Article:Jim DiJulio, Sr., lifetime member of the NDTA, passed away at the age of 103 years. He was born on Easter Sunday, April 3, 1904, in Black Diamond, Washington. Jim traveled extensively for work and sometimes for pleasure. His career as manager of Lincoln Moving & Storage and his initiation of moving service to Alaska and consequent development of Alaska Orient Van Lines took him north many times and often into freezing weather. Jim was known for his generous spirit, moving furniture (free of charge) for the nuns, priests, and friends in his parish. Jim and his wife, Masina, did a lot of walking before they could ever afford a car. Later in his life, Jim enjoyed long walks, taking on as many as five miles a day. He will be deeply missed. We send our deepest sympathies to Jim's family and friends.
